Critical Capabilities

When working within an automotive or aerospace supply chain there is a requirement to prove that the manufacturing process can consistently meet design requirements during an actual production run at the quoted production rate. Most companies follow the template set out in the AIAG PPAP manual, with some customisation.

Project management with customisable workflows.

Create process flow diagram, FMEA and control plan within app.

Set lead times and be notified of tasks at risk.

Libraries for quick population.

Output professional PPAP report ready for customer to review.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is used to identify and plan for areas within a process that are at a higher risk of going wrong.

Sparked by a shift in new demands from customers, Industry 4.0 is the name for the current trend of automation and new technologies in the manufacturing sector. The revolution brings changes in all areas of life and existing business models. For example, is it just me who has Amazon’s Echo Dot - ‘Alexa’ - carry out mundane tasks such as turning on music or making phone calls out of sheer laziness and convenience?

With the boom of digitalisation and Industry 4.0, software solutions have become increasingly accessible to manufacturers. However, as manufacturers look at the functionality available they have found their needs inadequately represented.
